Florian Weimer 1d0fc21382 Linux: Add gettid system call wrapper [BZ #6399]
This commit adds gettid to <unistd.h> on Linux, and not to the
kernel-independent GNU API.

gettid is now supportable on Linux because too many things assume a
1:1 mapping between libpthread threads and kernel threads.

returned value is not subject to caching. Most Linux system calls
accept a TID in place of a PID. Using the TID to change properties
of a thread that has been created using pthread_create can lead to
undefined behavior (comparable to manipulating file descriptors
directly that have not been created explicitly). Note that a TID
uniquely identifies a thread only while this thread is running; a
TID can be reused once a thread has exited, even if the thread is
not detached and has not been joined. */
